How to Be More Present in Life, Love, and Spirit by Carley Schweet offers a compelling exploration of mindfulness in everyday living. Emphasising the importance of being fully engaged in the moment, Schweet encourages readers to cultivate a deeper awareness of their surroundings, relationships, and inner selves.

She suggests practical techniques such as mindful breathing and gratitude journaling, which help anchor one’s thoughts and emotions. By immersing ourselves in the immediacy of our experiences — from enjoying a cup of tea to sharing laughter with a loved one — we can enrich our lives and foster more meaningful connections.

Schweet also touches on the spiritual aspect of presence, advocating for moments of reflection that can deepen our understanding of our purpose and connections to the universe. Through her insightful guidance, she reminds us that true presence is not merely about being physically there, but about fully embracing each experience with an open heart and mind.

Yoga Nidra Script: Commune in Serenity with Your Spirit Guide

As you settle into a comfortable position, allow your body to find its natural support. Close your eyes gently and take a deep breath in, filling your lungs with peaceful energy. As you exhale, release any tension you’ve been holding onto, letting it melt away into the surface beneath you.

Now, turn your awareness inward. Feel the gentle rise and fall of your breath, a calming tide that invites you to relax more deeply with each cycle. With every inhalation, invite serenity into your being, and with every exhalation, let go of any distractions or worries that may linger in your mind.

Imagine now a soft light surrounding you, its warmth cocooning you in tranquility. This light represents your spirit guide, a wise presence here to support you on your journey. As you visualise this radiant energy, take a moment to set an intention for this practice—a desire for guidance, comfort, or clarity.

In this safe and serene space, call forth your spirit guide. Feel their presence as a gentle whisper in your heart, encouraging you to connect. As you bask in the stillness, allow your mind to open and receive any messages or feelings that arise. You are safe here, cradled in compassion and love.

Continue to breathe deeply, remaining in this serene communion. With every breath, feel yourself becoming more attuned to the wisdom that flows between you and your guide. Trust in this connection, and know that you are never alone on your journey through life.

Breathe, relax, and simply be, as the bond between you deepens in this sacred moment of Yoga Nidra.
